Read from the numbersBoth read warm. Margaux is a red, Socialite a purple.
How they read
In their own wordsMargaux is Color Atelier's bold, deep red — a burgundy with the depth of the Bordeaux it is named for. In lime paint the colour is never uniform: it pools darker in the corners and lifts to a dusty rose where the light hits.
Socialite is a muted, dusty rose built on a brown base — close enough to mauve to feel romantic, grounded enough to never read as pink. With a low LRV near 20 it brings real depth, the kind of moody, grayed red that makes a dining room or powder room feel considered.
